Lmao

This move affects MTV’s dedicated music-only channels, not the main MTV network, which will continue airing reality shows and pop culture programming.

    Thanks, MTV, for 3 years of music television.

    To be fair, it died a long time ago.

    This move affects MTV’s dedicated music-only channels, not the main MTV network, which will continue airing reality shows and pop culture programming. In the U.K. and across parts of Europe, channels like MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV, and MTV Live are being removed from Sky and Virgin Media lineups. In the U.S., remaining regional cable feeds that still carried music-only MTV programming are also slated to go dark as distribution contracts expire.

    Mtv died when rob dyrdek took control of like all the programming. Possibly before that, when it just became reality TV crap.

    I liked MTV when they told us about cool stuff. Their street cred evaporated when they tried to dictate what was cool.

    I grew up on MTV when it was music videos and once again I have "mtv" on the cable I get with my apt but it's called Xite. It's 24/7 music videos. I put it on in the background almost daily.

    It didn't! If you really watched MTV the past years, you would notice the content was nothing but songs. All these cool shows back in the millenium, where thrown in the pit.
    I had 15 MTV channels on my satelite box, all of them playing old songs mostly.

    As a kid growing up in the 80s MTV was just always there and always referenced after say '85 in tv and movies as everyone knows it. But I am Canadian we only had Much Music after we moved and couldn't take our satellite dish (never watched much anyways to be honest I was under 10). Similar but definitely the budget version.

    Always remember the music video with puppet Reagan hitting the nuke button. Though I did watch many videos back in the day....prefer electronica style music though so was never my thing back then even.

    Published 3 days ago

    *checks current date*
    So like.. the 31st of December 2025 or the 1st of January 2026?

    By the end of this year, MTV’s remaining 24-hour music channels will shut down globally..

    So like, did it just shut down or will it shut down by the end of 2026?

    EDIT: Luckily the comments on that article actually show the real date instead of published 3 days ago, so it looks like MTV just shut down in 2025.

    MTV is wholly responsible for the dumbing of America.

    Not aliens on The History Channel? Not Honey Boo Boo on The Learning Channel? Not Jerry Springer? Montel? Steve? Not Joe Rogan or Howard Stern? Not Rush?

    This country has hundreds of terrible influences at all times.

    MYV opened the door for that shit. Hence, my point.

    Most of what I mentioned is older than MTV.

    MTV started in 1981
    The Real World first aired in 1992
    Jackass came around 2000

    While MTV didn’t create reality TV, they played a major role in dumbing it down to make it appealing to the dumbest of our population- which are many.

    Also, NONE of what you mentioned is older than MTV.

    most certainly not, if you think AA/music is the sole reason you have some personal issues. you should go back to watch FOX.

    ROFL… so for starters, if you think I meant the music they ran, YOU need to go back to school. And secondly, you assume I watch Fox because I think reality shows lowers our collective IQ?

    Your part in this discussion is a good example of the damage that garbage reality programming did to people.

    Going to block you now, so I won’t see any responses from here on- that you make such baseless bad faith accusations because you disagree with someone tells me that filtering you from my feed won’t be a loss at all.

    Stop looking for arguments and you’ll stop finding them.
